A driver arrested in connection with the death of a nine-year-old boy after a car crash has been released on bail.

Police said Jayden Lee McIvor was on foot at the time of a collision between two cars in Telford, Shropshire, on Saturday.

He died after suffering multiple injuries when he was hit in Haybridge Avenue in the Hadley area.

The 19-year-old driver of one of the cars has been bailed until 10 April after being questioned.

'Tragic circumstances'

West Mercia Police said the collision, between a Ford Focus and a Citroen Grand Picasso, happened just after 15:00 GMT and the arrested man had been driving the Ford.
